Munson is hosting two juried exhibitions at the Pratt Munson College of Art and Design to showcase the work of its first-year and sophomore students. The First-Year Exhibition, running from April 10 to May 6, highlights foundational skills and interdisciplinary research, while the Sophomore Exhibition, held from April 17 to May 16, features more specialized work across various media. A public reception for both shows is scheduled for April 25 in the Museum’s Root Court.
These exhibitions serve as a critical milestone for students completing their initial training in Utica before transitioning to the Pratt Institute’s main campus in Brooklyn. By presenting student work in a professional museum setting, the college emphasizes the rigor of its Bachelor of Fine Arts curriculum and provides emerging artists with a platform to demonstrate their creative growth and technical proficiency to the local community.
